BLACKPINK’s Lisa is celebrating another major milestone! Her latest solo release, “SaWaDiKa,” has officially surpassed 200 million videos on YouTube, becoming the first music video released by a K-pop artist in 2026 to reach the mark.
The music video crossed 200 million views on 8th October at around 3AM UAE time, just 34 days after its release on 4th September. With its mix of Thai Culture, music, and fashion, SaWaDiKa has quickly become another standout release in Lisa’s solo career.
From 70 Million to 200 Million Views
SaWaDiKa made an impressive start on YouTube, collecting 70.8 million views within its first 24 hours, according to Thai news outlet Khaosod English.
The video went on to surpass 100 million views in just two days, before reaching its latest milestone of 200 million views.
Its first-day numbers also came close to Lisa’s previous record with her 2021 solo debut, “Lalisa”, which earned 73.6 million views in its first 24 hours.

SaWaDiKa Brings Thai Culture Into the Spotlight
The title SaWaDiKa comes from the Thai greeting sawadika, which means “hello”.
The approximately three-minute song features Lisa rapping over hip-hop beats, with production by Thom Bridges and the duo Ojivolta.
Lisa also took part in writing the song alongside Bridges, Mark Williams, Raul Cubina, Rachel West, and Danny Chung. The track was released through LLOUD Co, and RCA Records.
Beyond the music, the video celebrates Lisa’s Thai roots through its visuals.
Directed by Bang Jae Yeob, the music video was filmed across Bangkok and features elements of Thai Culture, including Muay Thai, tuk-tuks and traditional Chula kites. The fashion also brings together modern and traditional styles.
SaWaDiKa Makes Its Mark on Billboard
The song’s success has also extended beyond YouTube. SaWaDiKa debuted at No.69 on the Billboard Hot 100, while entering the Billboard Global 200 at No.23 and the Billboard Global Excl. US chart at No.13.
It also became Lisa’s third solo song to spend more than one week on the Hot 100, following “Money” in 2021, and “Born Again”, her 2025 collaboration with Doja Cat and Raye.
Lisa brought the track to the stage for the first time at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on 27th September.
The singer began the night by winning Best Pop, before delivering the song’s debut live performance on a stage inspired by a boxing ring and nightclub.
A Busy October and November Ahead for Lisa
While SaWaDiKa continues to gain views, Lisa has several more projects lined up. The song serves as the pre-release single for her upcoming EP, Press Play which is scheduled to arrive on 23rd October.

Universal has disclosed the title of Mike Flanagan’s upcoming film in the “Exorcist” franchise: “The Exorcist: Martyrs.”
While plot details are still being kept under wraps, the upcoming film will star Scarlett Johansson and “Hamnet” star Jacobi Jupe and will not be connected to the 2023 film “The Exorcist: Believer.” Blumhouse, Atomic Monster and Morgan Creek Entertainment are producing the film in association with Red Room Pictures.

He is also the showrunner on a new series based on Stephen King’s “Carrie,” which premieres this week on Prime Video.
“The Exorcist: Martyrs” is expected to hit theatres in March 2027.

Cortis is confirmed to go live on the outdoor stage at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 on Friday, its label Big Hit Music said Thursday.
The group will join Janet Jackson, Lana Del Rey and Zara Larsson as well as Singaporean singer JJ Lin, as the only K-pop group on the lineup this year.
“This is the first time we are visiting Singapore, and we are very excited to showcase our music and performance at the major festival which draws audiences from all over the world,” said the team through the label, vowing to pour out their “explosive energy” at the event.
The rookie boy group is also reportedly preparing its third album. Its second EP “Greengreen,” released six months ago, hit the Billboard 200 at No. 3 and sold over 2.3 million copies in one week.
Seiko began in 1881, when its founder, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop in Tokyo’s Ginza district to sell and repair timepieces. In the years since, the company has grown alongside Japan’s largest metropolis, creating innovative timepieces that reflect the rich culture and aesthetics that Tokyo has cultivated over generations.
As Tokyo, once known as Edo, evolved, so too did its cultural expressions, including distinctive colors that reflected the sensibilities of each era. During the Edo period (1603 to 1868), when the cultural foundations of present-day Tokyo were laid, a traditional Japanese color known as “Edo purple” emerged. Part of the broader lineage of purples long appreciated in Japan, it came to be loved as a colour reflecting Edo’s distinctive character and has been passed down to the present day.
As Seiko marks its 145th anniversary, it presents a new series of limited-edition timepieces. Representing the traditions that were born in Edo and passed on to modern Tokyo, as well as the spirit of creativity that defines Japan’s largest city, Edo purple-inspired colors serve as a central design element across the commemorative models. Guided by its founding philosophy to be “Always one step ahead of the rest,” Seiko continues to take on new challenges while remaining closely connected to people’s lives through time. Each model also incorporates gold-colored accents that express Seiko’s enduring commitment to enriching lives with joy and beauty.
Prospex

A new Alpinist creation joins the Prospex lineup, reflecting the heritage of the first Alpinist watch, introduced in 1959 as the brand’s entry into the emerging category of watches designed for sports.
The original 1959 Seiko Laurel Alpinist featured the distinctive “Alpinist” logotype. In the new model, it is reinterpreted beneath the Seiko logo at 12 o’clock.
The watch features a dial layout defined by wedge-shaped indexes and Arabic numerals that ensure high legibility. A matching purple stitch on the leather strap enhances its distinctive character, while gold-colored accents on the Seiko logo and seconds hand add a subtle touch of brilliance.

A solar chronograph inspired by the iconic Speedtimer models of the 1960s and 1970s also joins the Prospex lineup, reflecting Seiko’s long-standing pursuit of precision and legibility in sports timing. The dial and aluminum bezel insert, which has a tachymeter scale, feature purple accents, lending the watch a distinctive yet highly functional design.
Astron

Seiko took electronic watchmaking to a new level in 2012 with the Astron GPS Solar, which connects to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and adjusts to every time zone* with the simple push of a button while generating all the energy it needs from light alone.
A new Astron creation captures the changing hues of the sky at dusk through a purple dial with a vertical gradation combined with a horizontal pattern featuring lines of varying widths, creating a rich sense of depth and visual dynamism. Ceramic center links enhance the bracelet’s refined appearance.
*If there are changes in the region / time zone / DST, manual selection may be required.
Presage

A new limited-edition creation joins the Presage Cocktail Time series, which features vibrant, glossy dials reminiscent of cocktails. The watch is inspired by an original cocktail, “Edo Murasaki,” created by Hisashi Kishi, owner of STAR BAR and the first bartender to receive Japan’s prestigious “Contemporary Master Craftsman” award. The watch’s dial expresses a deep purple tone with a translucent quality and subtle highlights reminiscent of scattered gold flakes. A radial pattern adds depth, while gold-colored accents on the logo and GMT hand complete its refined yet vibrant presence.
Seiko 5 Sports

A new Seiko 5 Sports creation based on the SKX series, one of the brand’s most iconic sports watch designs, reinterprets a classic design with a refined aesthetic. The watch’s deep purple dial is complemented by gold-colored accents, creating a balance of sportiness and elegance, while vertically striated indexes and a glossy Hardlex bezel add a refined and sophisticated touch.
A revival of a digital classic from the 1980s
And finally, there is a new creation based on a model known among enthusiasts as the “Rotocall,” first introduced in 1982 and recreated in 2025. Its distinctive design, along with its reported use among astronauts, contributed to its popularity overseas. The original model featured a distinctive rotary switch, allowing for easy access to functions such as an alarm, a timer, and a stopwatch. The new model retains this iconic feature while introducing a purple rotary switch paired with an all-black case. The combination expresses a bold and distinctive aesthetic, complemented by gold-colored accents on the Seiko logo and function indicators.
Each anniversary creation is marked “LIMITED EDITION” on its case back. The watches will be available beginning in October 2026 at the Seiko Boutiques and select retail stores worldwide.
